“NVIDIA’s strategy is coming into its own, as the world becomes increasingly visual and mobile,” said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and chief executive of NVIDIA. “Our GPU business accelerated in the third quarter, driven by strong demand from gamers and the professional market. And our mobile business benefited from new devices coming onto the market. With Tegra 3 phone wins well ahead of Tegra 2’s pace, we’re expecting strong growth in the year ahead.”
Outlook
Our outlook for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 is as follows:
-- Revenue is expected to be relatively flat, plus or minus two percent,
from the third quarter.
-- GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be flat to up 0.5
percentage points from the respective GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins
in the third quarter.
-- GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $372 million;
non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $330
million.
-- Our GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates are both expected to be between 14 to
16 percent, excluding any discrete tax events that may occur in the
quarter.
We estimate depreciation and amortization for the fourth quarter to be approximately $53 million to $57 million. Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $30 to $40 million.
Diluted shares for the fourth quarter are expected to be approximately 618 million.
